After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the area that became Little Village was settled by German, Czech (Bohemian), Polish, and other Eastern European immigrants, often working in factories and industrial jobs.
1970: Hispanics were a minority in the area (~4%).
1980: Little Village had become majority Latino — especially Mexican
1990: Around 85% of the population was Hispanic/Latino, with a large share of Mexican origin — many foreign-born
Of course being WokeGPT it had to add "Little Village is often referred to as the “Mexico of the Midwest” because of its size, culture, and concentration of Mexican and Mexican-American residents — a distinction for many decades."

Maybe we’re giving niggers too much credit, then. Perhaps a lot of Chicago’s murders are due to Little Mexico.
